Kenny Brown Band

R.L. Burnside's adopted son, Kenny Brown has grown up with the blues. Given guitar lessons by Blind Joe Callicott as a boy, Kenny honed his chops with the Burnside family band. When not playing guitar, he was doing construction work for Paul Burlison (guitar player for Howlin' Wolf and Johnny Burnette and the Rock 'n' Roll Trio). An essential element of the Burnside sound, Kenny has also recorded one album under the watchful eye of Dale Hawkins of "Suzie-Q" fame. Having worked with R.L., Othar Turner and Junior Kimbrough, Kenny is the only white guy to earn the right to perform at Kimbrough's juke joint.
